Onward and Upward:
The Norma Walker Story (a free public reading)
By Melissa Lucero McCarl
Wednesday, October 9 - 7p.m.
Aurora Fox Studio Theater
Free; General Admission
Ticket reservations recommended.
Meet Norma Walker, a woman of her time yet ahead of her time. Norma was – and remains – Aurora’s first female mayor from 1965-67.
From the theatrically rich mind of local award-winning playwright, Melissa Lucero McCarl, comes an Aurora Fox Arts Center original commission, “Onward and Upward: The Norma Walker Story.” The play celebrates how personal grit and resilience, enhanced by a call to service, informed Norma Walker’s care of both her city and her family without losing her unique personable authentic self.
Much more than a personal history, the play mines the rich traditions of theatrical storytelling – an intergenerational ensemble, fluidity of time and place, and pop culture touchstones – to spotlight universal truths within one woman’s journey.
Norma’s story is one of local Aurora mid-20th century politics as informed (and reflected upon) within her various roles: mother, small business owner, artist, and Depression-era child in the wilds of south-eastern Colorado. Norma’s sense of building community empowered arts and culture, LGBTQ+ allyship, civic pride, and the groundwork for Aurora’s growth and development.
McCarl’s dynamic and moving dialogue incorporates Walker’s own writings with archival materials in the spirit of the nonfictional novel and documentary theatre. | Purchase Tickets | |
